Upper estimate price exceeded by more than 100%
This artwork by Josef Albers achieved an unexpectedly high price at Phillips in New York in October last year. In the Editions & Works on Paper auction, the work Hommage au Carré (Tribute to the Square): three plates (D. 160.1, 160.10, 160.11) sold for USD 11,340.00 (€ 11,415.34) - well above the upper estimate of USD 5,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Josef Albers achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Homage to the Square in May this year with an auction result of USD 2,954,000.00 (€ 2,772,667.54).
Oberer Schätzpreis um mehr als 100% übertroffen
Dieses Kunstwerk von Josef Albers erzielte im Oktober letzten Jahres bei Phillips in New York einen unerwartet hohen Preis. In der Auktion Editions & Works on Paper wurde die Arbeit Hommage au Carré (Tribute to the Square): three plates (D. 160.1, 160.10, 160.11) für USD 11.340,00 (€ 11.415,34) versteigert – und damit weit über dem oberen Schätzpreis von USD 5.000,00. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Josef Albers erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Homage to the Square im Mai diesen Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 2.954.000,00 (€ 2.772.667,54).
